The rescued villainous lady wants to go home with me

"Are you going out?"

"Um." Lorraine didn't know if Xueni's intuition was too keen, "Yes, I have to check some things."

If you haven't returned to the capital, you don't need to worry about it, but now that you're back here and talked about those things, you should take a look.

Whether it’s the attitude of Lil’s family or the anomalies of Banika and Romon who are seriously ill,

"That's why I don't like coming back here." Xue Ni murmured dissatisfied.

"You have a good sleep for a while." Lorraine can only comfort Xueni in this way now, and taking more rest will indeed help Xueni to recover better.

"..." Xue Ni was silent for a while.

Lorraine thought Xueni was going to be angry and wanted to say something, but Xueni's hand reached out on her own initiative.

"You can go out if you want." Xue Ni opened her palm and said, "Then you hug me, and you can go out when I fall asleep."

I didn't expect Xueni to say this, but seeing that Xueni didn't want to let go of her hands at all, Lorraine could only smile helplessly, then leaned over and hugged Xueni, so that she could half lie in his arms .

Because only one hand can move now, Xue Ni can only hold Lorraine's waist with this hand, but it still has the strength it should have.

Xue Ni's upper body kept rubbing against Lorraine's arms, as if looking for a comfortable position, and didn't stop until a while.

Seeing Xueni no longer moving around, Lorraine asked, "Is this all right?"

"Yeah." Xueni leaned her cheek against Lorraine's chest, and could hear his heartbeat a little.

Lorraine pulled the quilt under La Xueni so that it could be covered below Xueni's shoulders.

In this way, Lorraine, who had maintained this posture for a long time, felt the panting in his arms began to intensify, so he looked down at Xueni.

"Xueni?" Lorraine called softly, and seeing that Xueni didn't respond, she confirmed that she had just fallen asleep.

As if holding something valuable, Lorraine gently put Xueni back on the bed, and then covered her with the quilt again.

It wasn't until he walked out of the room that Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief. If he was inside, he was afraid of waking Xueni up.

Walking back to the living room, Lorraine found that Naba was no longer here. Judging from the situation, he probably went to deal with things. After all, as the head of the Gretel family, it was impossible for him to act like a hands-off shopkeeper like himself.

Zeth, who stayed in the living room, sat there and dozed off.

Lorraine stepped forward to wake up Zeth, and asked, "Can you do me another favor, please?"

"Help? Yes, yes." Zeth wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, "But you will treat me to dinner then."

"That's not a problem." Lorraine really didn't expect that with Zeth's skill, he talked about eating all day long, "Come with me to the palace."

Hearing Lorraine's words, Zeth suddenly became energetic. He was familiar with every street in the capital, but he had never been to this palace.

Zeth has already done himself a great favor, and it is reasonable for Lorraine not to bother him anymore, but now the only one around Lorraine who can walk with him is Zeth in front of him.

Chapter 11

seriously ill and poisoned

After leaving Xueni's house, Lorraine returned to his mansion and changed his clothes accompanied by Zeth.

If he didn't change his clothes, Lorraine would look like a down-and-out nobleman. Although the clothes are gorgeous, they are tattered, and this is all thanks to the group of people who attacked him.

Seeing Lorraine's sudden return, the original people in the mansion were a little surprised, because they didn't get the news that Lorraine was coming back at all.

After the maid helped Lorraine change her clothes, she asked, "Your Highness, why did you come back suddenly? We haven't received any news from our side."

"It's an accident." Lorraine grinned, and he didn't expect that he would come back at this time, or some people didn't want to come back at all.

"During your absence, Miss Xueni has been here several times."

Regarding the relationship between Xueni and Lorraine, the people in the Lorraine mansion had some guesses a long time ago, so when Xueni came here, no one stopped her, but they didn't understand that Xueni entered Luo Lin every time. What is Lin's room for?

"Xueni?" It was a bit unexpected that Xueni came here.Lorraine moved his body a little bit to adapt himself to the clothes on his body, and said, "I'm going to the palace."

"Imperial Palace?" Hearing this, the maid next to her had a sad expression on her face, "Your Highness, I heard that His Majesty seems to have been ill recently and has been bedridden."

Lorraine paused, not expecting them to know these things.

But thinking about it, as servants serving the nobles, they also have their own information networks with each other, and sometimes this kind of information network is more informed than gossip.

Seeing that these people were also worried about this kind of thing, Lorraine felt that the impact of Baneka's serious illness was quite large.

"It shouldn't be a big deal."

Although it is said like this, Lorraine can only hope to say this to himself.

Sitting in the carriage to the palace, Zeth stretched his waist while looking at the passing scenery outside the window, "It's rare that I don't have to drive the carriage myself."

On weekdays, Zeth either rides the horse or drives the carriage by himself. It is still rare for someone to be able to command such a situation.

"But I told you in advance that I can't completely guarantee your safety." Zes said.

Because of this incident, Lorraine felt that the palace should be somewhat different from before, and this was one of the few times he went to the palace independently.

Let Zeth follow him because Lorraine felt that he could deal with some unexpected things based on some of his experience.

Getting off the carriage, Lorraine asked the servants next to him, "Where is Your Majesty now?"

Seeing that it was Lorraine, the servant was a little surprised, and then pointed in a certain direction, "Second Highness, His Majesty has been in poor health recently, and has been staying in the dormitory all the time."

"Yeah." Lorraine nodded.

It seems that the words of the people inside the palace are quite conservative. People outside all say that Baneka is seriously ill, but now they just say that he is not in good health.

Following the information provided by the messenger, Lorraine quickly came to Banaka's bedroom. Slightly different from other rooms, Banaka's bedroom was strictly guarded by guards.

Fortunately, Lorraine was able to enter directly by virtue of his status as the Second Highness. It might not be so easy for other people.

As soon as they entered the room, both Lorraine and Zeth could smell a strong smell of medicine permeating the whole room.

A man about the same age as Banika who was standing by the bed saw Lorraine coming in and quickly stepped forward, "Your Highness, why are you back?"

This man's name is Torre. According to the information given by the messenger before, this man is a servant who has been serving Banika a long time ago and is acquainted with Lorraine and Romon.

"I heard that my father was ill, so I came back to visit."

No matter where it is, it is reasonable for the heirs to visit their sick parents, which is also the reason Lorraine thought of from the beginning.

"The Second Highness has a heart." Tollet was a little relieved.

Also as Baneka's heir, Lorraine was assigned to the territory, and even ran back deliberately, but Romon, who was already the heir to the throne, hadn't visited Baneka for a while.

Lorraine walked forward and looked at Banika who was sleeping on the bed, her eyes wrinkled.

Baneka, who was lying on the bed, was pale. If it wasn't for the slight panting sound, it would be hard to think that he still had signs of life, and there was a touch of black on his lips and under his eyes.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Torre shook his head, "We don't know too well. Since some time ago, His Majesty has been saying that he feels more and more weak, and then he has no strength, and he can't even walk. Now he can only lie on the bed like this .”

Hearing this, Lorraine and Zes looked at each other, because this condition didn't sound like a simple illness.

"Even the people who treated my father don't know what's going on?"

"They also couldn't see what kind of illness His Majesty had."

There are several people around Baneka who specialize in conditioning his body, but if even these people don't know, it will be really difficult to deal with.

Lorraine asked a few more questions, but couldn't get any useful information at all, so he had to withdraw in the end.

As soon as he reached the door, Zeth leaned forward and whispered, "Don't you think His Majesty is poisoned instead of sick?"

"Poisoned?" Lorraine didn't quite understand, because from his own point of view, Banaka was just too weak and had no signs of poisoning.

"If I remember correctly, some people in the black street sold medicine that weakened the vitality of some monsters to facilitate hunting. This situation is a bit similar."

Just when Lorraine wanted to inquire carefully, a voice that was not unfamiliar came from not far away.

"Your Highness, why didn't you tell us when you came back?"

Hearing this voice, Lorraine felt very uncomfortable. She turned around and saw Oule walking over holding Romon's arm. It would be better to say that he looked like he was holding Romon.

"This guy..." Lorraine forced a smile, "How dare I bother you."

Don't come early, don't come late, just as soon as I came to visit Baneka, Ole showed up with Romon, which is somewhat too much of a coincidence.

It's just the Romon in front of him... Lorraine looked at the Romon in front of him, feeling a little strange.

Oulier pulled Romon beside him, and said in a very soft tone, "Romon, Lorraine is back, don't you want to say hello?"

"Lorraine? Who is Lorraine?" Luo Meng looked delirious. If his eyes weren't staring blankly ahead, people would think he was asleep.

"He's your brother."

"Brother... oh, Lorraine, long time no see." While speaking, Romon waved at Lorraine.

But with this simple wave, Romon almost couldn't stand still. Fortunately, Oulie was holding his arm.

Oulie smiled and explained, "Romon has been too tired to deal with affairs recently, and his spirit is a bit bad."

"Indeed." Lorraine also smiled.This doesn't look like he is mentally ill, but he is completely mentally abnormal.

"Then Romon and I will go see His Majesty first." Oule led Romon past Lorraine and then said, "If things are not busy in the territory, I hope that His Highness will come and walk around more. .”

"Well, I will." Lorraine's tone lowered slightly.

Oule's words were obviously well-intentioned, but they were reminding him not to forget to go back to the territory.

Chapter 12

lil's father

"Then where are you going now?" Zeth sat on the carriage, crossing his legs and yawning.

In the eyes of others, this is a sign of ignorance of etiquette, and it is still in front of the Second Highness.

But in the eyes of Zeth, whether Lorraine is the Second Highness is not important to him, he only knows that he has already settled another meal.

"Go to Iog's house."

"Oh? I'm going to that genius's house."

Rumors about Lil were not only circulated among the nobles, but also many commoners knew about her.

Lorraine looked outside, and although he answered Zeth's words, he was thinking about something else in his mind.

If Zeth's guess is correct, then Baneka's physical problems are not caused by himself, but also have external influences, and Romon's appearance is the best proof of where this external comes from.

To be honest, Lorraine didn't believe that Romon would become like that during his absence, even he couldn't recognize him.

"Did that guy do it all?" Thinking of Ole's smile, Lorraine became more and more uncomfortable.

After what happened last time, Lorraine knew that she has a strong attachment to power, but is it really necessary to do this?

The matter of Baneka and Romon has something to do with her. It's just that the nobles couldn't find evidence for such a period of time, so they have nothing to do with her.

Besides, even if Romon's current mental state is not right, he is still a quasi-emperor, and Ole is correspondingly a quasi-queen.It is not a wise choice to attack Oulie for no reason.

"Hey."

Zeth stretched out his hand and waved Lorraine, which brought Lorraine back to his senses.

"arrive."

Only then did Lorraine realize that the carriage had stopped at Lil's house.

After getting off the carriage and looking at the gate of Lil's house, which had been here several times before, Lorraine noticed that there seemed to be a few more guards standing at the gate.

"Hi, I'm here to find Lil." Lorraine stepped forward and said.

The guard looked up and down, and confirmed that the person in front of him was the Second Highness who should have left the capital, "Second Highness, wait a moment."

"Ah."

Lorraine nodded, watching the guards walking quickly towards the mansion inside.

After a while, the guard came over again, "Second Highness, you can go in now."

After getting the answer, Lorraine walked forward, and Zes behind him wanted to go in with him, but was stopped by the guard, "I'm sorry Your Excellency, only the Second Highness can go in."

Seeing this, Zeth could only helplessly spread his hands towards Lorraine, and then retreated to the carriage.

Lorraine had no choice but to walk towards the mansion under the leadership of another guard.
